1. I could easily get used to saying...

"President Franken."

2. Republicans like Grassley are gonna sit there and watch America be destroyed

they are republicans, by definition this means they dont have the backbone, honesty, decency not to.

3. Sessions offered his lie all by himself. The question had nothing to do with it

FRANKEN asked him very nicely and it was an open ended question for the most part.

5. When even have the video

of his aide without the poker face reacting to the answer.

4. Calling out conservative liars usually upsets them...

6. Grassley, FUCK YOU!

There, I translated Al for you.

7. Franken is right to be angered

Sessions replied in his letter back to Al with a non-sequitur. He answered a question that was not asked of him and he lied about it. The fact that he was not asked that question is beside the point. That incidentally is why lawyers tell you to not volunteer testimony.
